About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Wish a face to face session was possible (not virtually). Best therapist I’ve ever had. Listens, provides silence when needed - the most vulnerable I’ve ever felt in a therapy session which has allowed a lot of growth.

I feel like Ted goes beyond and above to be a great therapist. I truly feel lucky to have been paired up with him. I have always been pretty surprised with how much he remembers of the things I’ve told him. I also really like how he motivates me with my work/professional life. I originally joined BetterHelp while dealing with a personal relationship issue and Ted has helped me with way more in my life.

Ted has been absolutely amazing to work with. His warm and friendly demeanor makes opening up easy and makes the sessions comfortable when working through difficult areas. Ted listens well and provides helpful feedback along with applicable tools. He answers messages in a timely manner and often sends check in messages throughout the week. I really appreciate his weekly messages providing further information and tools regarding anxiety/depression. Overall I highly recommended working with Ted!

I joined better help at a time of crisis,when was faced once again with a lot of stress and anxiety and did not know where to turn. Theo had a warm and kind demeanour from the start, even through text he has such an upbeat and humorous attitude,it feels like talking to a friend who doesn t take himself too seriously and brings you into the present moment,reminding you about all the good things around us. He is very knowledgeable and the weekly messages on top of the therapy sessions open up new roads towards a better daily life. I also appreciate his flexibility and time management skills. Highly recommend both the service and him as a therapist!

Theodore has been absolutely amazing. I have grown leaps and bounds with his support over the last few months. I am so thankful for him and BetterHelp.

Reviewed November 2019

From day one, Theodore Faneuff has consistently excelled in my expectations as my online therapist. During our weekly hour-long sessions, he would listen very carefully to my exact words, analyze my micro-expressions, and body language and used the Cognitive Model to counteract these negative, self-limiting thoughts. Session after session, my thoughts about being unintelligent, unproductive, un-dateable slowly started turning around. Overall, Ted is everything you'd want in a professional 5/5 therapist!

Reviewed November 2019

Ted has been a compassionate and passionate guide during this troubling time. His insights and calming words have allowed me to step back and really assess why my emotional responses are what they are. His Christian faith and integration of God’s word into his guidance have been great comforts. I was skeptical of this mode of counseling but I am no longer skeptical. I am a strong supporter. And Ted is in large measure responsible for that.

Reviewed September 2019

Theo has been very supportive & non judgemental as he helps me through a trouble time in my personal life. All I really want is someone to offload my thoughts to & get some perspective & support & he has been great in offering both of those without judgement.

I would and have already recommended BetterHelp to my friends. It is so nice to get a message from a professional, in my case Theodore. My counselor is very knowledgeable and understanding. Theodore and I haven’t even dug deep into my past, but have already dealt with emotions on the exterior after only a couple of weeks. I am very happy that I downloaded BetterHelp.

Reviewed September 2019

Though I just started with Ted I already feel like I made a great choice in working with him. I have had a couple of other counselors in the past that I never really connected with. Even though I haven't even had my first initial session with Ted, our messaging back and forth has made me feel connected, and feel like he is the best person I could be working with to help with my issues. I can tell he truly cares and is dedicated to helping as much as possible.
